My emergency services number recently changed, so instead I have to dial 0118 999 88199 9119 725......... 3
I'll just put this over here with the rest of the drowned.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I'm writing to inform you about a drowning on the premises of...
No, that's too formal.
Dear Sir / Madan,

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Fun thing, if you have an android phone and the stock Google phone dialer, try typing that in.
(Note: has to be the Google or AOSP dialer)
my phone just buzzes, is there something else it should do?
Last I tried it, it blinked red and blue also hahaha.
That's it, just a special Easter egg that I would be half surprised if Google even remembers being there.
In my country 911 is for emergencies that require police attention, like armed robberies, etc.
Don't dare call 911 for a medical emergency or they quite plainly tell you to fuck off and call either the public healthcare phone number (which is a short (and toll-free) but completely different number), or your private provider (which is a normal phone number)
Good luck calling the fire department
Damn... What a simple and easy thing to have fucked up.
Yeah, it sucks because all phones I've had (my first one was a Nokia 1100) let you dial 911 even while locked, but not other numbers.
I never needed to use it, but I guess it can be useful in rare cases
At least they’re better looking now
